A chase in Newark by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pursing a van they had tried to pull over Wednesday resulted in a crash that hospitalized the van driver and involved a third vehicle that three minors were passengers in, city officials said.

“The chase led to an accident at Clinton Avenue and 10th Street, involving several vehicles, one of which had three children as passengers, two 15-year-olds and one 12-year-old,” Mayor Ras J. Baraka said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

Baraka said the incident exemplified the threat to public safety posed by ICE agents using aggressive tactics on city streets.

I'm sure the WH will claim the van driver was a domestic terrorist or a professional agitator, and then go onto claim ICE needs more funding.

The van driver is going to be blamed for everything, not the "trained" officers...
